I have been working on the Lit Review for my dissertation and i feel like pulling hair out. Where the hell do you start!!!!

Well after a cup of tea and a few bits of reading I've calmed down and i have found that on my Uni blackboard account there is lots of great advise.

I have worked out that the list on the left is a good starting guide of what needs to be in there and that i should take the reporting lectures advise which is to take the previous Lit review i was marked on and take the feedback i was give and put meet on the bones.

First Draft here we come.
